My Profile

The tour could have been very good were it not for the guide. She was poor to the extreme - she spoke too softly and her English was very difficult to follow. Furthermore her instructions were very vague, but if you asked a question for clarity, she got extremely angry, told you that you did not listen and/or pay attention, and then became downright rude!!! I have never in many years of travelling experienced anything like this. She was a disgrace. We spoke to others on the afternoon tour who had the exact same experience. The person who was our guide over the lunch period was excellent. I thought the lunch could have been shorter in order to get us to the statue earlier - as it happened the fog came in just as we reached the top and we had got very little from this part of the tour. Bad luck I suppose but if you get up there earlier your chances will be better.
